4 node physical cluster running redhat 6.5
all components 5.2 from elastics repository
Installing xpack from this guide
https://www.elastic.co/downloads/x-pack
installed xpack on ES - seemed clean
installed xpack on kibana - seemed clean
used bootstrap.system_call_filter: false
in the elasticsearch.yml to bypass the kernel check
ES and kibana start fine
if I use http://myhostname:9200
I set a htaccess like dialog box for username and password
if I use elastic and changeme - the dialog box just pops up again
when I go http://myhostname:5601
I get the too many redirects error
googling show many people with that error but no solution.
Also I did a full restart for teh cluster
currently I have ES and kibana running on one host only
kibana log shows alot of requests from my browser .216
